The Paradox Of Going On A Vacation

The Paradox Of Going On A Vacation

There is a paradox around vacations. We all know that it is important to get away from the office periodically. Time away from work gives you a chance to relax, reduce stress, renew your ties with your family, and get away from problems you have struggled with so that you can think about them differently on your return to the office.

But as a vacation approaches, we generally look at it with dread. There is too much work to be done! There are new projects starting and others that need to be completed.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Ghazala Begum

Giovanna Scalzone

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
